Coming back to this. The above dependency is only found in the |
12 |
profiles/uclibc/*/2.4/packages files, where it is always part of the |
13 |
following group: |
14 |
|
15 |
<sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.5 |
16 |
<sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.5 |
17 |
<sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.5 |
18 |
<sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.5 |
19 |
<virtual/linux-sources-2.5 |
20 |
|
21 |
The dependency on <sys-kernel/*-sources-2.5 should be enough to ensure |
22 |
that no newer kernel sources are pulled in. |

|
24 |
Apart from these profiles, nothing in the tree depends on |
25 |
linux-sources-2.4 any more. So I'd say that we could drop versioning |
26 |
of the virtual altogether. |
